Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to Homeopathy at Home with Melissa.
Hey, Melissa.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hey Brie, I am excited to talk about Calc Carb,
calcaria Carbonica MateriaMedica Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
We love this remedy, use it for so many different
things, so this should be areally good one.
I know I've actually I use it alot, but there's so much going
on with it that I think it'sgoing to be a even.
I'll learn a lot today, so wealways love Materia Medica.
Mondays Kick us off.
Tell us about Calc.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Carb?
Yeah, so Calc Carb is the mainor number one constitutional
remedy.
So I get the question a lot howdo you find your constitutional
remedy and how do you take it?
So I will just say that yourconstitutional remedy is the
goal.
To get back to that's.
(00:52):
You only take yourconstitutional remedy when you
are in good health, so when youhave issues, when you have
trouble.
Now let me let me say it thisway Calcarb can be used acutely,
just not very often.
I don't use Calcarb very oftenacutely.
Sometimes I will, it depends onthe person or the case.
But when you're looking foryour constitutional remedy
(01:19):
that's what you were born withthat's when you're at your
healthiest state state and thenyou take your constitutional
remedy to help you stay healthy,to maintain.
There is going to be a course onconstitutional prescribing
sometime in the near future.
So look for that.
And you know the near futurefrom when we're recording this.
So if you're one of those thatyou know listens, way in the
(01:41):
future, it might already be outand you can look for that on my
website.
So were you going to say?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
something I think it might be helpful to me to add
some clarity to you.
Don't want to take it unlessyou're at your original state or
until you're at your healthystate, because Calcarb is often
used in chronic care for maybe,people who aren't Calcarb people
or like constitutional Calcarbpeople, or is that okay?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Good, good, good.
Yes, so Calcarb is a mainremedy for uprooting allergies.
So the person may or may not bea Calc carb constitution and
we're using calc carb myfavorite is 30c daily to uproot
allergies right, so they do havesymptoms.
(02:34):
They're not at their.
They're not at their healthieststate.
So, um, if this soundsconfusing right now, you might.
Here's the thing what we'regoing to do tonight is read the
keynotes of Calc Carb and ifthis, if you fit this picture
right now and you're having alot of these things right now
you can use it right now.
So right now, we're notteaching constitutional care
(02:58):
Really good, thank you forbringing that up.
Yeah, cause I definitely don'twant to confuse people.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah Well, and I mean , I think that's the nature of
homeopathy you can sometimesfeel like we're so confusing.
So I know it might be, but keepan eye out for the
constitutional prescribing.
That is separate.
So tonight's just a normalmaterial medical Monday.
Think of kelp carb as anotherremedy to use when you have
(03:23):
these symptoms that we're goingto talk about.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, I'm just going to go through Bree.
I'm just going to go throughabout half of our notes and then
I'll just let you pick up thelast half.
Does that sound good?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Perfect.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
All right.
So, first of all, calc Carb isa slow-acting remedy, so there's
nothing fast about homeopathyanyway.
But if you could slow downhomeopathy even more, I often
will tell people homeopathy canfeel like watching paint dry.
(03:56):
So Calcarb is on the slowestend and that's not even to be
discouraging, it's actually toencourage you that, hey, if you
choose calcarb as a remedy,you're probably gonna be on it
for a while, and I mean it couldbe six, nine, twelve, twenty
four months.
Um, that you could be on it aslong as it's acting.
(04:19):
So this is one of the mostimportant remedies in the
Materia Medica, along withsulfur and lycopodium.
So.
But calcarb is the exactopposite of sulfur and it's made
from the middle of an oystershell which is in the sea right.
(04:41):
The oyster shell is sitting atthe bottom of the sea, it's in
the water, it's stuck, it'simmobile against the rock.
So when we think about wherecalc carb comes from, then, and
and what the oyster kind of isand does, does that tells you a
(05:05):
little bit about the person thatmight need Calcarb.
So they're grounded, they'reearthed, stuck, set, set in
their ways, kind of like anoyster.
So this Calcarb address is themost basic, fundamental level of
life.
The Calcarb person has the needfor food safety, clothing,
(05:32):
protection, security and notmuch more.
They are very basic, likehomebody Give me what I need,
let me stay home.
And you know, the Calcarb wifejust wants to cook and clean and
serve her family.
She doesn't need extravagance,she doesn't need vacations, she
doesn't need all the things.
(05:56):
From the child moving intoadulthood is the home builder,
traditional, grounded person whowants to provide a secure, safe
environment for their familyand for themselves.
So Calcarb is the salt of theearth.
They are wonderful, solid,down-to-earth, practical people
(06:23):
who are usually spiritual andthe negative aspect of that is
somebody who's too stuck,inflexible, unable to change.
So we, so Calcarb brings thatbalance.
If you're too stuck, inflexibleand unable to change, calcarb
can bring you back to yourbalanced state of practical,
(06:47):
solid, down-to-earth homebody.
There's nothing wrong being ahomebody as long as you can go
somewhere when it's necessary,right?
So Calcarb is usually or couldbe the pudgy, overweight, chilly
person.
The child is a representativeof the inside of the oyster.
So squishy, squishy newbornchild, soft and rubbery and
(07:10):
squishy and mucousy.
Mucousy is not cute, but that'spart of their picture usually.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
That reminds me of Lennon I do remember that baby
not like every chubby baby is,but just yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
But, and I wish I could, I wish I could show you
what I mean.
So when I, long before Istarted homeopathy, I worked in
childcare centers and I rememberum and I worked in the infant
room and I remember this infantum who came to us maybe she was
probably about four or fivemonths old, so at the age where
(07:48):
you could hold her on your hipright, you couldn't hold her on
your hip.
She was so like I remembercalling her squishy Like she
couldn't.
She didn't, she couldn't likesit on your hip.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So is that actually like a low muscle tone thing for
physically low muscle tone?
Okay?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah.
And so I don't mean that thethe calc carb um baby has to
have low muscle tone, but theycould.
So if they do have really lowtone then they might need
Calcarb to help pull them, youknow, get back to balance.
But every time I describe thispart I think of that baby and I
wish I could remember her name.
(08:34):
She was so beautiful.
And so the Calcarb person needsto develop their inner
structure, their inner strength,the calcification that needs to
take place for strong teeth,nails and bones.
So they need more innerstrength.
Calc carb provides the abilityto assimilate so they can
(08:58):
develop a strong, healthy bodilystructure.
The calc carb person might, onthe other end, they might be as
strong as an ox and at theirhealthiest state they are strong
, they live long, they're happy,content, secure, slow and
(09:18):
steady Calcarb has a really hardtime with a fast-paced change
or fast-paced life.
I would say they're opposite ofnux vomica in that.
In that sense, you know, nuxvomica is doing too much and cow
carbs like let's be still,let's.
(09:39):
Let's think about this umdecision for eight months where
I'm like, decided.
You know they like the countrylife, slow and steady.
Calcarb can strengthen youenough to do all the business,
(10:00):
busyness, busyness and eventhough you may not like it, you
could do it.
So if you can't live in thecountry slow and steady, and you
know like you like trying tothink of, so I watch A Little
House on the Prairie a lot andyou know, just looking at the
(10:22):
times back then, where you knowMa, she was busy but it was
still slow and you know she wasat home and so if you can't
actually live that kind of lifeand you have things you have to
do but you don't like to be busy, calccard can strengthen you
enough so that you can get thestuff done that you need to get
done.
Right.
(10:42):
But the Cal card person is notlikely going to be that Nux
Vomica, um, um, not justmotivated but ambitious.
They're not ambitious, yeah,yeah.
So this is just rock bottomprotective shell of the oyster.
So so if you think about theshell of the oyster of the
(11:10):
oyster, so so if you think aboutthe shell of the oyster, um,
it's really hard and it protectsthe oyster.
Inside is soft and squishy andso, um, the, the, the calc carb
person needs strength.
Um, sometimes there's a pearlin there, right In that oyster
shell, and people right in thatoyster shell and people, people
think that calc carb, people arejust amazing.
(11:31):
Calc carb you see that pearl inthem.
Um, they keep everything inorder.
They're the probably the gluethat holds the family together.
Um, often calc carb can worktoo hard or push themselves too
hard and when they do that, theyneed to be brought back into
(11:52):
balance, right, because they'renot thriving in that If they're
working too hard and pushingthemselves too hard, they're not
thriving and it might bebecause they had too much
responsibility placed on them atan early age.
So you think about, um, I knowI've said this plenty of times
on other podcast episodes and Inever, ever want to sound
condescending or putting downlarge families.
(12:14):
I'm not doing that, but I'veseen some large families where
the older usually girl in thefamily, but can be a guy too is,
I mean, but as part of being ina large family, you all work
and you all help, but oftenthey're given a lot of
responsibility early on becauseyou know there's lots of little
(12:36):
kids and they need mom.
Mom needs their help.
Um, the cow car person can doall things, all the things
willingly, but they must takethe responsibility.
So they have a fear ofinfection and disease.
They can be obstinate andstubborn.
(12:56):
They like to ponder a lot ofthings, so again they're just
like thinking about.
You know all the things foreverwhere I'm like decide you know,
so, um it the CalCard person, itfeels like you must do it.
Well, the Cal, the CalCardperson, must do it in their time
(13:20):
and do it their way.
And if they're pushed, they'restubborn and they shut down.
And if they're pushed, they'restubborn and they shut down, so
they get really uncomfortablebeing observed because they fear
making a mistake.
They can be quiteself-conscious and um calc car
people can definitely havenegative effects from vaccines.
(13:41):
Um, why don't you take it fromthere, brie?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
yeah, okay.
So the kelp car person may havea fear of heights and similar,
or the humpty dumpty fell offthe wall and broke.
Is that because he was scaredof heights or he was just like
weak?
Why'd Humpty?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
fall.
Well, I don't know why he fell,but, like you know, he broke
because he was an egg and yeah,he was weak, yeah, he's weak.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah, the weakness.
His egg shell was not verystrong.
Um, this could be a baby.
Who's fontanelle, fontanelle?
Why does that look so weird tome?
That their soft spot and theirum on their head closes slowly
or later.
Maybe a sweaty child or baby.
(14:34):
Their back of their head mightsweat, especially at night.
These are things I do hearoften actually, of little babies
their sweaty heads, the back oftheir head sweats.
It may be a person who's, whenyou shake their hand, their hand
is moist and sweaty, which Iknow it kind of sounds gross,
(14:54):
but I mean, we've all been there.
Or the person with the sweatyhand.
Maybe that's probably worse.
Also, maybe you have sweatyfeet, kalkar.
People can have problems withsour foods and with milk.
So they might crave milk butit's not good for them, it
doesn't sit well with them, orthey don't feel well when they
(15:17):
drink it but they want it, andthen, on the other hand, they
might have a big aversion tomilk.
So milk is just a big issue.
They either are better frommilk or worse from milk.
Milk makes them excessivelymucusy, so again, there's lots
of mucus there.
Calc FOS has an issue withmother's milk, so that's just a
(15:45):
little side thing that'sinteresting.
So Calc F floss, specificallywith mother's milk.
Calc carb has problems with theglands.
They swell.
So if you have somebody withconsistently swollen I mean
lymph nodes, tonsils I've hadpeople with armpits, like glands
under there swelling they mayhave catarrh in inner ears.
(16:10):
So again, that excess mucusbuildup can be nose, ears,
sinuses, throat lots of mucus.
Calc carb is often chilly sothey might feel cold.
Humor gets them out of a badmood easily.
(16:31):
They just want to be happy.
They want just enough to behappy.
They're not greedy.
They may over time look weatherbeaten.
They might have the tinywrinkles on their face, the
(16:56):
crinkles, the laugh lines.
So I love the descriptions whenI know exactly what that means
weather-beaten, I can picture itwhen it's kind of dry, you can
see the deep wrinkles.
They may have a fear of bugs andmice and infestations, things
that can infest, and a fear ofillness in general.
I know we mentioned that before.
So, fear of disease and illness.
They might be afraid thatthey'll break down under stress,
(17:21):
so like overwhelmed kind of howyou mentioned before that it's
too much.
But they don't.
They can do it, but they mighthave that fear that they just
can't handle it.
Um, they don't want people tosee them break down, they don't
want to let people down.
So they almost always pull ittogether and they manage the
things.
They're very resilient andstrong, um, which is why I think
(17:45):
you said earlier, they looklike they have it all together
but internally that fear ofdisappointing people is big.
They might crave sweets and eggs, especially like a soft boiled
egg with salt on it, things likemashed potatoes, pasta, toast
(18:06):
and butter.
Think bland foods.
I heard this somebody say theother day beige food, like easy
food, you know, like it doesn'thave color, but it doesn't mean
it doesn't have flavor, it'sjust soft, bland.
I mean they're just kind ofboring.
They might love ice cream andmilk chocolate but have an
(18:29):
aversion to fatty or slimy food.
They might react badly tocoffee.
Calc carb is actually betterfrom constipation, so that slow
assimilation calc carb is slow,so any nourishment left in there
(18:50):
has time, which is interesting.
I don't know that there's anyother any other time I've heard
somebody say they're better fromconstipation.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
So, you know, I wonder if that's because of our
society.
We are so focused on poopingtwo or three times every single
day.
You have to, you have to, youhave to, and so everybody just
thinks I have to and if I'm not,then I'm not healthy and then
I've got toxins in my body andI'm full of toxins and.
But you know, if we reallylisten to our bodies and you're
(19:19):
listening to this and you'relike you know what I actually
don't feel bad when I don't havea bowel movement every single
day.
You know, and maybe if youreally pay attention to your
body, you might be like, huh, Iactually overall feel better
when I go every other day.
We are so focused as a societyon going two or three times a
(19:40):
day.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, we just kind of swing the pendulum all over.
That's what happens.
It just goes, moves around.
It has to go extreme.
That is a good point though, um, because sometimes you do hear
that they're not going daily,but they're not symptomatic Like
they're, it's okay with theirbody, um.
So along those lines, diarrheafor the calc carb person makes
(20:01):
them feel aggravated and nervous.
I mean, probably for mostpeople, but especially a calc
carb person, they may developcramps at night if they don't
have the ability to assimilatecalcium and magnesium.
So calc carb can bring balanceto prevent the cramps.
They may have arthritis.
(20:23):
This can be great for peoplewith arthritis, osteoporosis,
musculoskeletal problems.
So again, that calcium, thatstrong like the oyster shell,
that can bring balance there.
It's one of the main remedies,or the main remedy for uterine
fibroids.
So if their periods are lateand excessively heavy and there
(20:48):
are fibroids present or's thecause, kalkar is a great option.
It's also good for hormones ingeneral.
So keep it in mind for that.
Kalkar might have nailsfingernails that crack and break
and split easily.
They're very sensitive to thenews.
(21:08):
They don't like to watch andsee cruel things or violence in
the world.
They just want their security,their peace and quiet, tranquil
lives.
They may have nightmaresbecause of either horrible
things they've seen or witnessedor partly why they don't want
to watch the news because thosethings can bother them really
(21:29):
deeply.
Yep, those are some Calcarbthings, I know.
I mean I'm sure there are a lotmore that we haven't even
touched on so big.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah.
So again, my favorite thing todo with Calcarb um is 30 C daily
, but if you're really sensitiveto remedies you could go with
60 daily, you know, and then youcould work your way up 12 C, 30
C.
You can use 200 C.
I just don't usually startthere.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, I really like.
Something I learned from youreally early on was using calc
carb just for the slowstrengthening of the immune
system in general.
So maybe you're a person whodoesn't fit all that, but I I
have seen it do really greatthings for people who get sick
all the time or like they're lowvitality.
(22:21):
They just don't have thatstrong shell you know and um
season allergies of all kinds orstuff like that.
Really, I've.
It has been such a game changerremedy for so many people that
I love it.
I've.
I actually don't know that I'veever seen it do anything
(22:43):
negative or aggravate.
Maybe that's just.
I obviously have limitedexperience, but it's such a good
remedy that's just, I obviouslyhave limited experience, but
it's such a good remedy.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, it is.
I've seen it uproot eggallergies, seasonal hay fever,
allergies, you know.
Yeah, like you said, the kidsthat get sick all the time.
Usually within eight to 12weeks, when we do our first
follow-up they're like they havethe mom's, like he hasn't been
sick at all.
This is crazy, you know so.
(23:15):
So, even though Calc Carb is aslow acting remedy, in that
sense it can work pretty fast tohelp, you know, prevent you,
prevent the child from gettingsick.
So often we're never.
Our goal is never to preventsickness forever.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
It's almost like it just creates a steadiness.
Yes, and obviously all remediescan bring balance in that
regard as well, but there isjust a security, a steadiness in
a person that's developed overtime.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
With Calcarb I've also seen Calcarb bring back
periods that were so amenorrhea.
You know that shouldn't be gone.
You shouldn't be in menopause,um, and you know, for whatever
reason it stopped and so theCalcarb can bring it back.
Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I was going to stop.
Um, it's a really big remedy.
I am looking forward to theconstitutional remedy course, so
keep your eyes out for that,because I think that will go
even deeper into other ways thatyou can use it.
But hope you enjoyed this.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, calcarb is amazing, so try it if you need
it.
And um, leave us a comment.
You know, tell us how.
How has Calcarb helped you oryour family?
We'd love to hear your um yourcomments in the in the the thing
.
The comments below.
Thanks,
Welcome back to Homeopathy at Home with Melissa.
Hey, Melissa.

Here's the thing what we'regoing to do tonight is read the
keynotes of Calc Carb and ifthis, if you fit this picture
right now and you're having alot of these things right now
you can use it right now.
So right now, we're notteaching constitutional care
(02:58):
Really good, thank you forbringing that up.
Yeah, cause I definitely don'twant to confuse people.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah Well, and I mean , I think that's the nature of

I'll just let you pick up thelast half.
Does that sound good?
Speaker 1 (03:32):

(05:56):
From the child moving intoadulthood is the home builder,
traditional, grounded person whowants to provide a secure, safe
environment for their familyand for themselves.
So Calcarb is the salt of theearth.
They are wonderful, solid,down-to-earth, practical people
(06:23):
who are usually spiritual andthe negative aspect of that is
somebody who's too stuck,inflexible, unable to change.
So we, so Calcarb brings thatbalance.
If you're too stuck, inflexibleand unable to change, calcarb
can bring you back to yourbalanced state of practical,
(06:47):
solid, down-to-earth homebody.
There's nothing wrong being ahomebody as long as you can go
somewhere when it's necessary,right?
So Calcarb is usually or couldbe the pudgy, overweight, chilly
person.
The child is a representativeof the inside of the oyster.
So squishy, squishy newbornchild, soft and rubbery and
(07:10):
squishy and mucousy.
Mucousy is not cute, but that'spart of their picture usually.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
That reminds me of Lennon I do remember that baby
not like every chubby baby is,but just yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
But, and I wish I could, I wish I could show you
what I mean.
So when I, long before Istarted homeopathy, I worked in
childcare centers and I rememberum and I worked in the infant
room and I remember this infantum who came to us maybe she was
probably about four or fivemonths old, so at the age where
(07:48):
you could hold her on your hipright, you couldn't hold her on
your hip.
She was so like I remembercalling her squishy Like she
couldn't.
She didn't, she couldn't likesit on your hip.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So is that actually like a low muscle tone thing for
physically low muscle tone?
Okay?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah.
And so I don't mean that thethe calc carb um baby has to
have low muscle tone, but theycould.
So if they do have really lowtone then they might need
Calcarb to help pull them, youknow, get back to balance.
But every time I describe thispart I think of that baby and I
wish I could remember her name.
(08:34):
She was so beautiful.
And so the Calcarb person needsto develop their inner
structure, their inner strength,the calcification that needs to
take place for strong teeth,nails and bones.
So they need more innerstrength.
Calc carb provides the abilityto assimilate so they can
(08:58):
develop a strong, healthy bodilystructure.
The calc carb person might, onthe other end, they might be as
strong as an ox and at theirhealthiest state they are strong
, they live long, they're happy,content, secure, slow and
(09:18):
steady Calcarb has a really hardtime with a fast-paced change
or fast-paced life.
I would say they're opposite ofnux vomica in that.
In that sense, you know, nuxvomica is doing too much and cow
carbs like let's be still,let's.
(09:39):
Let's think about this umdecision for eight months where
I'm like, decided.
You know they like the countrylife, slow and steady.
Calcarb can strengthen youenough to do all the business,
(10:00):
busyness, busyness and eventhough you may not like it, you
could do it.
So if you can't live in thecountry slow and steady, and you
know like you like trying tothink of, so I watch A Little
House on the Prairie a lot andyou know, just looking at the
(10:22):
times back then, where you knowMa, she was busy but it was
still slow and you know she wasat home and so if you can't
actually live that kind of lifeand you have things you have to
do but you don't like to be busy, calccard can strengthen you
enough so that you can get thestuff done that you need to get
done.
Right.
(10:42):
But the Cal card person is notlikely going to be that Nux
Vomica, um, um, not justmotivated but ambitious.
They're not ambitious, yeah,yeah.
So this is just rock bottomprotective shell of the oyster.
So so if you think about theshell of the oyster of the
(11:10):
oyster, so so if you think aboutthe shell of the oyster, um,
it's really hard and it protectsthe oyster.
Inside is soft and squishy andso, um, the, the, the calc carb
person needs strength.
Um, sometimes there's a pearlin there, right In that oyster
shell, and people right in thatoyster shell and people, people
think that calc carb, people arejust amazing.
(11:31):
Calc carb you see that pearl inthem.
Um, they keep everything inorder.
They're the probably the gluethat holds the family together.
Um, often calc carb can worktoo hard or push themselves too
hard and when they do that, theyneed to be brought back into
(11:52):
balance, right, because they'renot thriving in that If they're
working too hard and pushingthemselves too hard, they're not
thriving and it might bebecause they had too much
responsibility placed on them atan early age.
So you think about, um, I knowI've said this plenty of times
on other podcast episodes and Inever, ever want to sound
condescending or putting downlarge families.
(12:14):
I'm not doing that, but I'veseen some large families where
the older usually girl in thefamily, but can be a guy too is,
I mean, but as part of being ina large family, you all work
and you all help, but oftenthey're given a lot of
responsibility early on becauseyou know there's lots of little
(12:36):
kids and they need mom.
Mom needs their help.
Um, the cow car person can doall things, all the things
willingly, but they must takethe responsibility.
So they have a fear ofinfection and disease.
They can be obstinate andstubborn.
(12:56):
They like to ponder a lot ofthings, so again they're just
like thinking about.
You know all the things foreverwhere I'm like decide you know,
so, um it the CalCard person, itfeels like you must do it.
Well, the Cal, the CalCardperson, must do it in their time
(13:20):
and do it their way.
And if they're pushed, they'restubborn and they shut down.
And if they're pushed, they'restubborn and they shut down, so
they get really uncomfortablebeing observed because they fear
making a mistake.
They can be quiteself-conscious and um calc car
people can definitely havenegative effects from vaccines.
(13:41):
Um, why don't you take it fromthere, brie?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
yeah, okay.
So the kelp car person may havea fear of heights and similar,
or the humpty dumpty fell offthe wall and broke.
Is that because he was scaredof heights or he was just like
weak?
Why'd Humpty?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
fall.
Well, I don't know why he fell,but, like you know, he broke
because he was an egg and yeah,he was weak, yeah, he's weak.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah, the weakness.
His egg shell was not verystrong.
Um, this could be a baby.
Who's fontanelle, fontanelle?
Why does that look so weird tome?
That their soft spot and theirum on their head closes slowly
or later.
Maybe a sweaty child or baby.
(14:34):
Their back of their head mightsweat, especially at night.
These are things I do hearoften actually, of little babies
their sweaty heads, the back oftheir head sweats.
It may be a person who's, whenyou shake their hand, their hand
is moist and sweaty, which Iknow it kind of sounds gross,
(14:54):
but I mean, we've all been there.
Or the person with the sweatyhand.
Maybe that's probably worse.
Also, maybe you have sweatyfeet, kalkar.
People can have problems withsour foods and with milk.
So they might crave milk butit's not good for them, it
doesn't sit well with them, orthey don't feel well when they
(15:17):
drink it but they want it, andthen, on the other hand, they
might have a big aversion tomilk.
So milk is just a big issue.
They either are better frommilk or worse from milk.
Milk makes them excessivelymucusy, so again, there's lots
of mucus there.
Calc FOS has an issue withmother's milk, so that's just a
(15:45):
little side thing that'sinteresting.
So Calc F floss, specificallywith mother's milk.
Calc carb has problems with theglands.
They swell.
So if you have somebody withconsistently swollen I mean
lymph nodes, tonsils I've hadpeople with armpits, like glands
under there swelling they mayhave catarrh in inner ears.
(16:10):
So again, that excess mucusbuildup can be nose, ears,
sinuses, throat lots of mucus.
Calc carb is often chilly sothey might feel cold.
Humor gets them out of a badmood easily.
(16:31):
They just want to be happy.
They want just enough to behappy.
They're not greedy.
They may over time look weatherbeaten.
They might have the tinywrinkles on their face, the
(16:56):
crinkles, the laugh lines.
So I love the descriptions whenI know exactly what that means
weather-beaten, I can picture itwhen it's kind of dry, you can
see the deep wrinkles.
They may have a fear of bugs andmice and infestations, things
that can infest, and a fear ofillness in general.
I know we mentioned that before.
So, fear of disease and illness.
They might be afraid thatthey'll break down under stress,
(17:21):
so like overwhelmed kind of howyou mentioned before that it's
too much.
But they don't.
They can do it, but they mighthave that fear that they just
can't handle it.
Um, they don't want people tosee them break down, they don't
want to let people down.
So they almost always pull ittogether and they manage the
things.
They're very resilient andstrong, um, which is why I think
(17:45):
you said earlier, they looklike they have it all together
but internally that fear ofdisappointing people is big.
They might crave sweets and eggs, especially like a soft boiled
egg with salt on it, things likemashed potatoes, pasta, toast
(18:06):
and butter.
Think bland foods.
I heard this somebody say theother day beige food, like easy
food, you know, like it doesn'thave color, but it doesn't mean
it doesn't have flavor, it'sjust soft, bland.
I mean they're just kind ofboring.
They might love ice cream andmilk chocolate but have an
(18:29):
aversion to fatty or slimy food.
They might react badly tocoffee.
Calc carb is actually betterfrom constipation, so that slow
assimilation calc carb is slow,so any nourishment left in there
(18:50):
has time, which is interesting.
I don't know that there's anyother any other time I've heard
somebody say they're better fromconstipation.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
So, you know, I wonder if that's because of our
society.
We are so focused on poopingtwo or three times every single
day.
You have to, you have to, youhave to, and so everybody just
thinks I have to and if I'm not,then I'm not healthy and then
I've got toxins in my body andI'm full of toxins and.
But you know, if we reallylisten to our bodies and you're
(19:19):
listening to this and you'relike you know what I actually
don't feel bad when I don't havea bowel movement every single
day.
You know, and maybe if youreally pay attention to your
body, you might be like, huh, Iactually overall feel better
when I go every other day.
We are so focused as a societyon going two or three times a
(19:40):
day.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, we just kind of swing the pendulum all over.
That's what happens.
It just goes, moves around.
It has to go extreme.
That is a good point though, um, because sometimes you do hear
that they're not going daily,but they're not symptomatic Like
they're, it's okay with theirbody, um.
So along those lines, diarrheafor the calc carb person makes
(20:01):
them feel aggravated and nervous.
I mean, probably for mostpeople, but especially a calc
carb person, they may developcramps at night if they don't
have the ability to assimilatecalcium and magnesium.
So calc carb can bring balanceto prevent the cramps.
They may have arthritis.
(20:23):
This can be great for peoplewith arthritis, osteoporosis,
musculoskeletal problems.
So again, that calcium, thatstrong like the oyster shell,
that can bring balance there.
It's one of the main remedies,or the main remedy for uterine
fibroids.
So if their periods are lateand excessively heavy and there
(20:48):
are fibroids present or's thecause, kalkar is a great option.
It's also good for hormones ingeneral.
So keep it in mind for that.
Kalkar might have nailsfingernails that crack and break
and split easily.
They're very sensitive to thenews.
(21:08):
They don't like to watch andsee cruel things or violence in
the world.
They just want their security,their peace and quiet, tranquil
lives.
They may have nightmaresbecause of either horrible
things they've seen or witnessedor partly why they don't want
to watch the news because thosethings can bother them really
(21:29):
deeply.
Yep, those are some Calcarbthings, I know.
I mean I'm sure there are a lotmore that we haven't even
touched on so big.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah.
So again, my favorite thing todo with Calcarb um is 30 C daily
, but if you're really sensitiveto remedies you could go with
60 daily, you know, and then youcould work your way up 12 C, 30
C.
You can use 200 C.
I just don't usually startthere.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, I really like.
Something I learned from youreally early on was using calc
carb just for the slowstrengthening of the immune
system in general.
So maybe you're a person whodoesn't fit all that, but I I
have seen it do really greatthings for people who get sick
all the time or like they're lowvitality.
(22:21):
They just don't have thatstrong shell you know and um
season allergies of all kinds orstuff like that.
Really, I've.
It has been such a game changerremedy for so many people that
I love it.
I've.
I actually don't know that I'veever seen it do anything
(22:43):
negative or aggravate.
Maybe that's just.
I obviously have limitedexperience, but it's such a good
remedy that's just, I obviouslyhave limited experience, but
it's such a good remedy.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, it is.
I've seen it uproot eggallergies, seasonal hay fever,
allergies, you know.
Yeah, like you said, the kidsthat get sick all the time.
Usually within eight to 12weeks, when we do our first
follow-up they're like they havethe mom's, like he hasn't been
sick at all.
This is crazy, you know so.
(23:15):
So, even though Calc Carb is aslow acting remedy, in that
sense it can work pretty fast tohelp, you know, prevent you,
prevent the child from gettingsick.
So often we're never.
Our goal is never to preventsickness forever.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
It's almost like it just creates a steadiness.
Yes, and obviously all remediescan bring balance in that
regard as well, but there isjust a security, a steadiness in
a person that's developed overtime.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
With Calcarb I've also seen Calcarb bring back
periods that were so amenorrhea.
You know that shouldn't be gone.
You shouldn't be in menopause,um, and you know, for whatever
reason it stopped and so theCalcarb can bring it back.
Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I was going to stop.
Um, it's a really big remedy.
I am looking forward to theconstitutional remedy course, so
keep your eyes out for that,because I think that will go
even deeper into other ways thatyou can use it.
But hope you enjoyed this.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, calcarb is amazing, so try it if you need
it.
And um, leave us a comment.

How has Calcarb helped you oryour family?
We'd love to hear your um yourcomments in the in the the thing
